| If
you have IE, you probably also have Front Page Express (FPE),
a free program that with IE4+. (If you can't find
it, click on your IE help menu and choose 'Product
Updates'. You'll find it there) You
can make a simple sig in that, although many of us use a
graphics package called Paint Shop Pro to make fancier
ones. If you don't have it, go to the IE download
site and get it.
- To
make a simple sig, all you have to do is open
FPE, You'll get a nice white screen.
- Place
the curser on anywhere on the screen and right
click.
- On
the drop down menu, select Page Properties.
- Click
on the Background tab. On the left center
you'll see two option boxes for background color
and font color.
- Use
the dropdown menu to select "Default"
as the background color. This will make the
area around your sig the same color as any
background someone uses.
- Then
select any font color you'd like. Click OK.
(Your screen will turn grey to indicate that it's
in default color mode.)
- Go
to Format/Font on the menu bar and select a font
you like.
- Type
your name.
- Go
to File/Save As
- Give
the file any name you'd like
- Select
the "As File" option and make sure it's
saved as an html file.
To
use the file as your signature, open Outlook Express.
- Select
Tools/Stationery.
- You'll
see two tabs, Mail and News. Select
whichever one you want.
- On
the lower right of each is a button that says
Signature.
- Press
it and check the box that says "Add this
signature....".
- Then
mark the option for "File" and "browse"
for the sig file you just created.
- Highlight
it and click ok. Your sig will now be added
to all new messages.
- You
must do this for the Mail and News separately.
- If
you want it added automatically to replies, check
that option.
